                             Puritan by Widowspeak
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Opening track from the band's 2011 self titled debut. Couldn't make out all the lyrics, 
but I tried to write down what I could. I didn't bother tabbing some of the lead solo 
stuff in the middle of the song, but these chords are correct.

Tuning: Standard

NOTE: E is the only chord in the song that is played open; the rest are all barre 
chords, as indicated.

Intro:

e|------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------|
A|-----------------4------------------|
E|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---5-4--------------|


e|----------------------------------------------------------|

G|----------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------6-------------------------6-----------|

   Four hour drive
   Strange world outside
   Shattered to see
   The sun go down



   D11        C

e|--7---    --5----|
B|--7---    --5----|
G|--8---    --6----|
D|--9---    --7----|
A|--9---    --7----|
E|--7---    --5----|



   D11        C
   Don't know ourselves

   D11     C
   In this hollow town



Then play this:

G (open) followed by C—

G G G G G G G / AA 

If you have two guitarists you can continue play this progression over the top of 
the following verses (which just alternate between an E and A).


    G
    So charmed, the rich in power

    C
    Puritans had all the power

    G
    Show them how their eyes were blue

    C
    Tell me I'll stay with you


    D11    C
    Always waiting

    D11        C
    And you're fading, fading out



    G
    So I looked my Sunday best

    C
    Still inside a devil's dress

    G
    Tall, dark ... (?)

    C
    Like the time they stood (?)



    D11   C
    I was looking

    D11      C
    Puritans watching

    D11      C
    I, I was watching, watching out


Resume G / C progression and end the song on the G chord.
